The Ten Commandments of Commenting - Thou Shalt Not........

Recently, someone felt the need to promote their own site and services on my blog.  At first, I was really angry and tempted to say some not-so-nice things.  Then, those 4 years of Catholic school kicked in, "forgive them Lord for they (OBVIOUSLY) know not what they do".

So, maybe it's time for a refresher on commenting.  Feel free to add your own...there's no rule that we can ONLY have Ten Commandments of Commenting!

1.  Thou Shalt Not Promote Your Site or Services on Someone Else's Blog.  (if your comment is interesting enough, others will click and visit you for more info)

2.  Thou Shalt Not Comment Solely for the Sake of Commenting. (commenting for points is just wrong)

3.  Honor Your Fellow Bloggers. (be polite and courteous, even when disagreeing)

4.  Thou Shalt Not Steal. (read Lenn Harley's blog for any questions regarding this)

5.  Thou Shall Comment and Comment Regularly. (for every blog post you write, comment on at least 10 others)

6.  Thou Shalt Not Comment When Angry, Upset, Drunk or Emotional.

7.  Thou Shalt Not be a Closed-Minded Know-it-All. (do not be condescending and be open to other's ideas and beliefs)

8.  Thou Shalt Not Troll. (make a comment that disrupts the flow of discussion)

9.  Thou Shalt Not be a Coward. (do not post anonymously)

10.  Thou Shalt Not be Longwinded. (be succinct and to the point)
